This. Due to the geometry of the table and the rack, about 6" off of dead center to either side, and a nice square hit on the 1 ball, gets the best results no matter whether it is a 7' or 9' table. If you are not driving the two corner balls four rails towards the corner, then the problem is...

See now.. "Seems" looks to be pretty wishy-washy as a response to your "declarative" statement such as "being archived for monetary purposes". Either you KNOW why it got taken down... Or you are making s**t up off the top of your head to sound smart. You should start trying to get into the...

I agree with Wizard... This is not a particularly hard shot, on 5" pockets, on Simonis 760. ESPECIALLY as it is Shaw shooting. He made a bunch of combos of similar difficulty during some of his bigger runs. He is simply VERY accurate in the path he makes the first object ball travel, when he...

Yeahhh.. I dunno about that. This sounds like someone making a claim, without talking to, or hearing from, the people with the video. Did you hear this directly from "The Legends of Pocket Billiards" channel? I think it is much more likely that the video was taken down for editing, to split...

In the Army, I used to practice/compete 6-12 hours a day on the weekends, and then come back to the dayroom and put on an Accu-Stats video, and often fell asleep while watching. Someone came in while I was asleep, and stole my Meucci Maximum. I absolutely loved that cue. The barracks doors had...

So... Am I missing something? That Youtube channel covering this does not seem to have the 832 ball run cut out as a separate video, and there doesn't seem to be any title/indicator of which time block the 832 occurred during? What specific video/time block contains the big run? (If you know..)

I have sweaty palms, and oily skin.... And I have started to become more aware of how little effort I have been putting into shaft care. As in literally a small green scrub pad is how I have been cleaning my 314-2 shaft. I figured finding a way to go back to my previous shaft care steps, without...

Because it is insanely expensive for the amount of product you get. .25oz bottle for $5-$7, whereas BioSilk is $25.00 for a 5.6oz bottle. And some people think that Cue Silk is basically just repackaging such an existing product, and boosting the price ~2500%... Some folks have mentioned that...

Absolutely never in my life. Not once. I started playing when I was 18, and I turn 50 this year. Money means nothing to me in pool. I play for money from time to time, but it really doesn't make any difference whatsoever in how hard I try. Plus, I make enough professionally that I'd need to be...

Well, I looked, and I couldn't really find an ingredient list for CueSilk, so I am basically taking as the gospel truth one member's claim that it is simply a Dimethiconol/Cyclomethicone based product.... Was hoping to get confirmation from someone who currently uses a BioSilk product on their...

Hey all.. I heard that CueSilk is just a Dimethiconol/Cyclomethicone based haircare product, massively marked up, and some people have suggested "BioSilk" as an alternative, that has the same basic ingredients.. Can someone advise me on exactly "which" BioSilk product we are talking about here...

Yes, in the Main Forum. Seen me in NPR lately? You are not nearly the negative influence in the Main forum as in NPR, because topics are not so divisive. Main forum is more or less self moderating. The one place that really NEEDS strong moderation, NPR, is not getting it. The forum you are...

Please don't do that. You and I have had many, MANY conversations about this, and you know that I have zero problems with WHATEVER people want to talk about, so long as they do so in a polite manner. So don't play stupid that you don't know what my stance is on open debate. I'ma say it straight...

Hey man... I am just trying to say... The mods run the forum the way they wanna run it... And there's not a lot of thought that goes into what is "fair", and for the general good fo the forum, in my experience. To me, that comes from the site owner letting their administrators justdo whatever...

I think a new cue "can" play a lot better... Butfor the most part, a player playing with a new cue tends to be not as confident moving to the extreme edges of the cue ball, and as such, tends to play closer to center ball, which pretty much makes ANYONE play better. When the honeymoon period is...

"For the best of the forum"..... Lol.. Don't get it twisted, brah. It's not necessarily "for the best of the forum", but rather simply, "how mods wanna run things". Those are very much not the same thing. NPR is an absolute s**tshow of venomous political attacks, and mods make little effort to...

Well... The mods in NPR are so completely and utterly biased towards one side of the political spectrum, they don't even try to hide it, so... Yeah. That's AZBilliards forum for you.

And therein lays the major weakness of American pool. It is tied to gambling as a means of improvement and income, which has become completely untenable due to the egregious gulf between middle class worker pay, and cost of living. There's neither time, nor money to dedicate one's self to...

Steve Mizerak. Irving Crane. A number of others from that era. Nowadays, not too many. Cost of living was a lot less in those days, but they still DID work full time jobs. So the issue is not necessarily whether there is enough time.. It's that the American middle class has gotten poorer and...

Within current American pool culture? There's little hope. So long as good players see each other as someone who can "take something away from them", they are not gonna play each other, and will avoid tournaments with the stiffest competition. Gambling culture is exactly what is holding...
